In a Gallup poll of 1038 adults, 540 said that second-hand smoke is very harmful. What is the percentage of adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful? I am not to sure how to find the anwser???

540 / 1038 = 0.520231214 = 52%

I came up with the same answer

To find the percentage of adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful, we will use a simple calculation.

Firstly, we need to determine the proportion of adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful. This can be found by dividing the number of adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful (540) by the total number of adults surveyed (1038).

Proportion = (Number of Adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful) / (Total number of Adults surveyed)

Proportion = 540 / 1038

Now, to convert this proportion into a percentage, multiply the proportion by 100.

Percentage = (Proportion) * 100

Percentage = (540 / 1038) * 100

Evaluating this expression will give you the answer, which represents the percentage of adults who said second-hand smoke is very harmful.
